The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge

2303. Rendili Raid (2)

Principality of Dawn, Rendili Defense Fleet, Poker Victory II-class Star Destroyer.

"Fire!"

"Fire!!"

"Fire!!!" With a decisive firing order, the Victory II-class Star Destroyer's twin-turreted heavy turbolaser cannon installed on the second deck fired one after another. At the same time, the turbolaser cannon installed directly in front of the battleship was also firing simultaneously.

boom! boom! boom! ! The firepower of the imperial warship also began to hit its own warship. Although it was blocked by the deflector shield, the violent explosion still caused violent vibrations in the warship. People on the bridge suddenly fell on their backs.

"Sir! The energy of the forward deflector shield is severely reduced!" the console officer turned around and shouted loudly.

"This ship's left rudder is at 90 degrees, engage the enemy on the broadside!!" The captain immediately gave the order, "Increase the evasion range!"

"yes!"

boom! boom! Even on the holographically projected combat star map, you can see densely packed turbine laser beams being fired at them. Some of them passed around the battleship, and some of them hit directly. Each hit caused a terrifying explosion, and the shield indicator kept beeping.

"Speed ​​up the ship! Avoid it as much as possible!" the captain shouted.

"Speed ​​up!" the operator repeated loudly, while controlling the warship to fly towards the side of the battlefield.

"Sir! The headquarters requires us to maintain our formation for at least 30 seconds!" the communications soldier reported loudly.

"Reply to the headquarters, the formation cannot be maintained, and the ship's shield is seriously damaged! It is forced into an evasive posture!" the captain replied immediately. , "Keep firing! Target, Imperial-class Star Destroyer, marked EI-097! Proton torpedoes ready!"

"Missiles coming from the front!!"

The laser cannon on the USS Pork Star Destroyer immediately reduced its power and fired wildly in rapid-fire mode, forming a light net around the battleship. Most of the hundreds of incoming missiles were intercepted, but there were still fish that slipped through the net.

But when these missiles approached, they suddenly changed direction, flew to the side, and soon disappeared into space.

Several Double Blade-class electronic warfare light cruisers flew around, providing powerful electronic warfare support to the battlefield.

At the same time, the proton torpedo launched by the Poker in panic was also fired from the side. However, it was completely impossible to expect that the proton torpedo launched from this distance would achieve any results.

On the current battlefield, when the distance between the fleets of both sides is less than 1 light second, the Galactic Empire fleet has fully opened its firepower. Countless artillery fires are coming, and the Rendili defense fleet cannot resist it. Admiral Trench deploys The left wing fleet was soon disorganized due to the all-out attack.

The mere 200 Victory II-class Star Destroyer-based warships on the left wing were unable to withstand the crazy shooting of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer.

Even if there is fire support from Interstellar Base No. 3 and thousands of Gauss artillery platforms, they are still at a disadvantage in the air-to-air shooting.

"General! I suggest that the right-wing fleet dispatch immediately and move around the side and rear of the imperial fleet!" Malcolm Granger said loudly.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk... No, that's not the time." Admiral Trench slapped his pointer and said slowly, "He's waiting for me to do this. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk."

The left wing fleet has begun to show signs of disintegration, and is constantly retreating away from the right wing while being pursued by the imperial fleet. That direction is Interstellar Base No. 2. At this moment, the powerful pulse laser cannon of the interstellar base has opened fire. The thick laser beam shines over and slowly passes over the deflector shield of the Empire-class Star Destroyer.

However, as the battle continues, neither side has plans to take off fighter formations. The imperial fleet just stared at the left wing and pursued it fiercely. It seemed that it planned to completely destroy the left wing and then turn around to take care of the right wing.

Admiral Trench has been staring at the formation of the Imperial fleet on the holographic star map.

The left-wing fleet continued to retreat, and their retreating direction was getting closer and closer to the planet, while the imperial fleet that was pursuing them also followed the planet around.

"Now! Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk..." Admiral Trench slammed the table, "Particle light spear, fire!"

The 40 disaster-class battlecruisers had already completed charging at this time, and they immediately launched a salvo! And at this time, because the imperial fleet is bypassing the planet, the side and rear of their battleship is facing the direction of the disaster level!

40 to extremely bright beams of light shot out instantly. At this moment, the imperial fleet formation immediately exploded with flames! Several Victory II-class Star Destroyers that were lagging behind were directly destroyed by this salvo!

"Well done!" Malcolm Granger punched hard.

"Right wing fleet, start advancing. Tut, tut, tut, tut." Admiral Trench slowly gave the order, "Take off, fighter formation. Tut, tut, tut, tut... one wave."

One wave of attack formations consists of approximately one thousand fighter jets.

From the hangar platforms everywhere, one after another Ghost fighters and Viking fighters began to take off, immediately turning on the cloaking device, following the Imperial fleet and pounced on it.

As soon as the stealth fighter formation took off, it immediately spread out in all directions, up, down, left, and right, attacking from as many different directions as possible to distract the imperial fleet's anti-aircraft firepower.

Countless close-range defense guns opened fire immediately, forming a net of fire around the Galactic Empire's battleships. A fighter jet was shot down immediately, but more fighter jets rushed over like locusts and prepared to launch proton torpedoes.

At the same time, the Imperial Fleet finally opened the hangar hatch, and a large number of TIE/LN light fighters flew out. Under the guidance of the battleship flight control department, they flew towards the direction where there was nothing but lasers and missiles were constantly fired.

The fighter formations of both sides finally collided. At this moment, countless fireballs exploded, most of which were TIE/LN fighters. Although the maneuverability of TIE fighters far exceeded that of ghost fighters, they were always a beat slower in reaction under the command of the battleships when facing invisible opponents, and were immediately slaughtered!

However, after being attacked from the side and rear, the fleet of the Galactic Empire did not turn around, but immediately rushed forward at full speed. Soon, the fleet bypassed the planet of Rendili and began to leave the battlefield.

And while leaving the battlefield, the fleet suddenly dropped a large number of cylindrical external devices. After these devices were separated, they soon exploded under the action of the built-in detonator. The explosion actually formed a space turbulence, which deflected the aiming of almost all the fire control radars on the Rendili defense fleet.

"General, there is a space turbulence behind the Imperial Fleet!" an officer walked over and said.

"Space... turbulence." Admiral Trench frowned.

"I think it might be the warp engines of these warships..." Malcolm Granger was a little uncertain, "The space turbulence caused by these warp engines only needs to interfere with our fire control radar."

"Hmm..." Admiral Trench narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Imperial Fleet going away.

The attack of the Galactic Empire Fleet was like a sharp knife that came straight at them. But it did not cut into the real place, but temporarily turned the blade, cut off a piece of meat and quickly retracted it.

And their attack position was very clever, launching the attack from the left side of Starbase No. 3, constantly deflecting, constantly driving away the left wing of the defensive fleet, and then leaving the battlefield from the right side of Starbase No. 2.

The entire attack was always kept between the two starbases, and the firepower of the starbase was not fully exerted.

This offensive was sharp and precise!
